These pictures are the best so far! But every time i am surprised and like it!
January 13, 2013 at 8:05 pm
Thank you, Klaas. I’m grateful for your comment. I’m especially glad to hear that I keep surprising you. I worry that people will be bored that I keep posting photographs of ice. 🙂

Beautifully captured… You have an amazing eye!
January 13, 2013 at 8:40 pm
Thank you so much. That’s very kind.

Bored? With your photographs of ice? Never. Each one is like a different painting 🙂

Such nice words, Ogee. Thank you.

I never knew that there were currents in mud puddles until I began looking closely at the kind of ice in your pictures. It’s amazing.

One thing I’m learning about focusing on one location, such as the pond, is that I learn a lot of different things by concentrating on that one location for many, many days. Even the same spot in the pond. Lots of interesting things reveal themselves.

soooo beautifullll…. so beautiful. Thank you dear, love, nia

Thank you, nia. You are so very kind. I’m really so glad you like it.

Fascinating – the frozen currents look like Hockneys from the 70s (?) – exactly how he expressed ripples on the surface of a swimming pool. The contours are beautiful – it must have been an incredibly rapid freeze. Great shots, Melanie.

So interesting–the Hockney reference. I’ve just taken a look, and I can see that! Thank you. I love all the interesting shapes I’ve found as a result of the freeze.

Just gorgeous!
January 14, 2013 at 1:58 pm

Gorgeous, gorgeous images. I love the blues and browns.
January 15, 2013 at 6:00 pm
Thank you very much, Karen. I’m very glad you like these.

So fascinating. I missed these before. Glad I found them now. My eyes are happily dancing.
January 15, 2013 at 9:28 pm
Thanks for coming to look around, Ashley. I’m so glad you like what you’ve found.

Late again and struggling to keep up while traveling, but have to say I love these, especially the tighter crop in the second one. What a fascinating array of textures!
January 16, 2013 at 9:53 pm
I’m amazed that you would even stop by while travelling, Gary. Thanks so much for your comment. Hope you’re having a great trip!

These are gorgeous. I see the head of a horse in the bottom/middle of the photos.
January 16, 2013 at 10:58 pm
I saw that horse head, too, Maralee, and wondered if anyone else would. Thanks for your comment.
January 19, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Beautiful and confusing all at the same time….love these photos 🙂
January 16, 2013 at 11:34 pm
Thank you again. I really appreciate your feedback.
January 19, 2013 at 8:02 pm
I will have too start commenting in another language. I am going to run out of superlatives. 😀
January 17, 2013 at 5:56 am
You are so kind, Joseph. I am really grateful.
January 19, 2013 at 8:03 pm
Love the colors in these.
January 19, 2013 at 8:10 am
Thank you, Inga.
January 19, 2013 at 8:05 pm
These would be beautiful framed and on a wall somewhere, Melanie…goodness…so wonderful.
January 19, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Thank you, Scott. What a generous and kind thing to say.
January 20, 2013 at 1:39 pm
You are very welcome, Melanie…and I was/am very serious…

This is amazing, Melanie! You obviously have much cooler pond ice in Maine than we have in Washington.
January 26, 2013 at 12:50 am
🙂 I’m wondering if there isn’t something about this pond in particular. I’m eager to check out some other ponds in Maine to see how they compare. I also think that there might be something to the early freeze and then partial thaw and then rapid re-freeze that adds something special to the structures I’ve found there (this year and last).
